Spilling the tea on downtown bubble tea

It’s October, which means everyone lines up to drink… bubble tea! Move over pumpkin spice lattes, there’s a new fall drink in town.  We encountered some incredible highs and some dangerously close spit-takes on our quest to find the best bubble tea that...

Update your wardrobe from summer to fall

The sun’s still out for now, but soon enough, the leaves will fall, Starbucks’ PSL will be all the talk, and — undeniably — we’ll all be wondering what to wear. As the temperatures drop and the layers pile on, it can be difficult to style your clothes. Don’t get me...

Five fall movies to binge

I don’t know what makes the fall season so unique; it could be the leaves falling, the golden tint that flows through the air, or the beginning of the semester, but the fall season is best known for comforting — and sometimes haunting — classic movies. There’s no...

To-go sandwiches

Back to school comes with an entirely new meaning to the word “busy,” from stressing about finding the right classrooms to making your first university friends, working a part-time job, buying textbooks, and of course, finding the time to eat so the “hanger”...

“The only reason I didn’t die”

The alarm on his phone simply labeled “meds” pings as he heads to the Shopper’s Drug Mart where his favourite staff know him by name. For the past three years, Christopher Berger has gone to the same North Edmonton pharmacy, lockbox in hand, to pick up his...

Food for thought: Brew and Bloom

Brew and Bloom is one of those exquisite places you enter and are immediately taken away by its beauty. The café, flower and gift shop is a women-led business that serves the Edmonton community differently. This storefront location at 10550 115 St. opened in 2021,...

Recipe: Cocktails you’ll enjoy all summer long

Whether sitting on a patio with friends, by a fire while camping, or on a hammock with a good book, a favourite drink can change a good day into a great day, and it doesn’t always have to include alcohol. With the summer fast approaching, we have three options that...

Recipe: Garlic chicken, potatoes, and cream

I have always loved my Ukrainian heritage. Many recipes have been passed down from my great grandparents to me, and I am forever grateful that I get to experience the authentic cuisine my background has to offer. As many would know, what makes Ukrainian food so...

How to: Meal prep for students

Chances are that when you hear the phrase “meal prep,” you don’t get overly excited. I was in the same boat not too long ago. I recently started meal prepping a few times a month, and I am here to tell you that meal prep is actually exciting and has many benefits...

Day Trip: Rollers Roller Rink

My first introduction to roller skating and roller rinks was when I watched the (totally underrated) 2011 movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules with my little brothers. Even though I was a little grossed out by the second-hand pizza the seventh graders were...

An ode to the fallen cake

I love baking. No, really. You don’t need to look further than my search history to see evidence of countless pie-crust rabbit holes, or my laptop bookmarks, which tend to involve more cookie recipes than useful school-related websites. But the thing is, I’m not...

Food for thought: Home and Away

Edmonton’s bar scene is saying hello to a new concept called Home and Away located right in the heart of downtown Edmonton. After Mercer Tavern announced its permanent closing on Aug. 31, 2021, the building has since been rebranding into a sports bar that offers...

How To: Make Candles

February is the perfect opportunity to dust off your creative skills and get candling. There are very few rules (despite what the fancy candle sites want you to think), and you can make whatever your sweet, little candling heart desires, from Lumière to candle...
